Yes, it was everyone who spammed their credits the first few days of the year having to wait longer than usual for credits to post. I think it repeated for the first few days of February as well (and honestly the first or second day of every month is the most problematic).
It's generally why I don't rush to use them, but that may or may not have burned me this time. Especially in a year of no planned flights with an infant, the TB redemption with its long expiration is a stupid easy option to get eventual value.
